Hospital worker had sex with more than 100 corpses

69-year-old David Fuller worked at two hospitals in southeast England: the Kent and Sussex Hospital (which is now closed) in 1989 and the Tunbridge Wells Hospital in Pembury.  A 300-plus page inquiry report found he was able to do so without being detected due to serious failures of “management, governance, regulation, and processes, and a persistent lack of curiosity.”

This former electrician was found guilty of murder, and he is shocking England with his 15-year necrophilia spree. In 2000, DNA evidence linked him to the 1987 killings of two women that had not been solved.

Between the years 2005 and 2020, Fuller committed at least 101 heinous acts against girls and women ranging in age from 9 to 100 years old. Report indicate that there was photographic or video evidence that was time-stamped for each individual case. 

The electrician, who would occasionally have to perform maintenance on the refrigeration system in the mortuary, routinely entered the department—as many as 444 times in one year—without being properly questioned, the inquiry said.

Fuller’s ability to carry out his depraved acts without detection for such a prolonged period of time was deeply disturbing. The case prosecutor said the level of necrophilia had never been seen on that scale before in a British court, and an inquiry was launched to find out how Fuller was able to get away with it for so long—and to prevent such abuse from ever happening again.
